I need to engrave an underlined small infinity sign in Corel.
Can someone tell me how to do it?
Thanks

I might if I knew what an infinity sign was. :)

The text character is unicode 221E (ALT 221e). From my understanding, there is a text:encode option in Corel.

It might be quicker to just draw one yourself.

The symbol looks like a figure 8. You can create it pretty easily and it may be in your clip art file but I coudn't find it.

I believe the infinity sign will have to come from a custom font (it's not your typical symbol)... plenty of fonts include it, but your average, run-of-the-mill font won't. Underlined can be accomplished in obvious ways.

Dangit, that's twice today... my infinity symbol pic was obviously meant for you, Larry.

Need to lay off the high-fructose tea, it seems...

I thought the code was ALT236 to get this ∞ . Here is a page to bookmark for this and other ALT characters http://www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/altchrc.html yielded from a Google search. But you've probably got it by now.

You must mean a Lemniscate. My big word for today!

If you start a text line then hold Alt then 236 and release the Alt it will pop up.
If you highlight it then you can scroll through the fonts until you get one you like

I have about a dozen different infinity signs (from aztec to knotwork) but I don't use Corel, I use Adobe
